Abstract

There is a problem of low literacy level amongst the visually
impaired. Too many children are unexposed to Braille, and
hence are not able to read or write. This causes some of the
visually impaired to be missing out on a lot of knowledge that
can be gained from reading. This project aims to create an
eBook reader for the visually impaired by means of a
refreshable Braille panel which enables them to read and
gain more insight on certain subjects with more ease. The
eBraille panel functions similarly for the visually impaired to
how a monitor would for those who are sighted. They will
touch the panel to feel the Braille codes that are displayed
which are transferred from a data storage media in the form
of a data stick. The data stick will store the digital form of the
Braille book, and act as a Braille eBook. It also holds the
corresponding audio of the contents of the book. This project
provides the visually impaired with an audio assisted
electronic Braille book reader.
